Hi All, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful bare-bones Css
framework.
Blueprint's been getting a bit of PR, I just don't think I would ever
use the grid components for one thing.
The Reset, and typography look to be just about right, I've been using
the Vista font calls from Christian Montoya quite a bit as of late:

Also looking at doing something where H tags for Odd numbers are Serif
fonts, whereas the even number fonts will be sans-serif.
I haven't been able to figure out a nicely bolded sans-serif font so
far, anyone have any picks for me there?
Thanks again.

PS: I posted a link to the framework just now on stylegala.com public
news, and thanks to Jamie Pittock of jambor-ee for providing the
link ;)

Thanks Ty,

That's really the point of Boilerplate is to be simple and
non-suggestive. I'm hoping to have an official introduction to the
framework on my blog in the next few days.

I would suggest Helvetica for any sans-serif situation. It's bold is
beautiful. A good fallback for Windows users would be Arial.

Thanks again!

Nathan

I'll be looking forward to it :D

Frankly speaking, I'm not much of a Blueprint fan, but it's cool
anyway. I just hope that this is going to be good.
